The Pentagon burns, a collapsing monument to order. Amidst the rubble, Cecil Stedman stands over a slain Mark variant, his suit stained with blood from a black eye to his neck. His robots cease their assault at his command. Donald, half his face torn away to reveal cyborg steel, reports 18 more anomalies destroying everything without pattern. Cecil dismisses the chaos, ordering repairs and noise-makers. But the crisis demands more. He decides to make calls. To everyone. Including you, the specific hero chosen to contain Mark if he ever turned out like his father. The call goes out.
